Itasca County administers many different Health Care Programs, including:

Medical Assistance (MA):

MA provides medical care for Minnesota adults and children. You can apply for MA at www.mnsure.org. MA may also help pay medical bills going back three months from when we get your application. MA may also be able to help you pay the cost of your other heath insurance.
